    My-Go to Vegan Carrot and Cauliflower Soup Recipe

    January 27, 2021 by Chelsea Kram – XO&So: Vegetarian Comfort Food 1 Comment

    CLEAN carrot and cauliflower soup

    This ultra creamy carrot and cauliflower soup is not only vegan, but it's sugar free and gluten free too! And of course, SO delicious. It's the kind of vegan comfort food you'll keep coming back to again and again!

    It's not often I post totally "clean" recipes that are dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free. But here we are. So you KNOW it has to be good if I'm sharing it with you!

    Vegan Carrot and Cauliflower Soup Recipe Origins

    vegan cauliflower soup with carrots

    Years ago, I used to do these 40-day "clean" eating challenges. There were a few recipes I relied on to get me through. This vegan carrot and cauliflower soup recipe is one of them, along with my famous one-pot red lentil curry. 

    It's one of my oldest and most beloved recipes, and I really don't why it took me so long to share it. But all that matters is it's here now and I hope you love it as much as I do!

    Ingredients

    Here's what you'll need to bring this vegan cauliflower soup recipe to life in your kitchen:

    • Coconut oil
    • One head of cauliflower
    • Carrots
    • Onion (yellow or white)
    • Garlic
    • Vegetable broth (I use two cups but you can use more if you like your soup less thick)
    • Lite coconut milk (you could use full-fat too)
    • Nutmeg
    • Salt and pepper 

    Instructions

    You're going to loveeee how easy it is to make vegan cauliflower soup almost as much as you love the soup itself!

    • Melt the coconut oil in a large pot on medium heat, then toss in the onions, garlic, nutmeg, chopped carrots, and chopped cauliflower.
    • Add the vegetable stock and coconut milk and bring the mixture to the boil. Once the soup is boiling, turn down the heat.
    • Cover the pot and simmer until the cauliflower and carrots are tender. This takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your veggies (bigger veggies will take longer to cook).
    • Blend with an immersion blender until the soup is smooth and big chunks are gone. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup to a blender jug in batches and blend until smooth then return to the pot.
    • Add salt and pepper to taste.
    • You can also add more vegetable broth until you get the consistency you desire. I use two cups of broth for a very thick soup (as you can see in the pictures).
    • I top mine with green onions and red pepper flakes! It's also excellent with some fresh bread or crunchy crackers!
